   It being Saturday I did a more intensive search for   
   information about this.  It turns out that the HD-P2   
   does have a backup of the factory firmware.  I'll   
   outline how to use it here, so that some future   
   solution seeker might be able to find it.   
      
   Hold Display and Play while turning unit on.  It goes   
   into a self diagnostic mode.   
      
   Hold Project and Stop buttons while turning on device.   
   It boots from a stored copy of the shipped firmware.   
   Now you still have to install the firmware as usual   
   from the System menu or you'll have to do this each   
   time you boot.   
      
      
   So the HD-P2 lives to fight another day.
